It doesn't: ships anchor in the bay and tenders land passengers in the heart of the resort, metres from the first terraces. Like any tendered call, it can be cancelled if the wind gets up on the Costa Smeralda.
Entirely. The village is small, pedestrian and compact: the Piazzetta, the vaulted passages running down to the water, the marina and the Stella Maris church all sit within a few hundred metres of the landing.
Two possible days, one at a time. Either the village and its marina, with the climb to Stella Maris and a stroll under the bougainvillea; or a boat excursion to the La Maddalena archipelago for swimming. Trying to do both means doing neither properly.
Because it was invented. In the early 1960s the Aga Khan and a group of investors commissioned architects, Luigi Vietti among them, to create the capital of the Costa Smeralda from scratch on a nearly empty granite coast. Hence the white and ochre houses with curved lines and no sharp angles, set among the rocks.
A Mater Dolorosa attributed to El Greco, unexpected in this holiday setting. The 1960s building, all whiteness and curves, is a few minutes' climb from the harbour, and its forecourt gives the best view around over the marina and the maquis-covered hills.
Yes. Cala Granu, a short distance from the village, offers pale sand and translucent water framed by pink granite and maquis. Boat excursions to La Maddalena also include swim stops.
A national park of dozens of islands and inlets north of the Costa Smeralda, where boats anchor for swimming in water whose greens and blues explain this coast's reputation better than any brochure. On the way, guides point out the island of Budelli and its pink beach, now protected: you admire it from the deck without setting foot on it.
Yes, in a different way. Off season the village returns to an almost unreal calm and you can take in the architecture at leisure, but some shops and restaurants close. In season the Piazzetta becomes open-air theatre: racing yacht crews, families in espadrilles, celebrities behind dark glasses.
The euro and Italian, though you will hear plenty of English, French and German: the clientele is international and staff adapt. Cards are accepted everywhere.
Yes, with one caveat. The village is pedestrian, safe and easy to cover, and children like Cala Granu. But there is no theme park and no museum: the day rests on strolling, shop windows and the sea. Younger children get bored unless swimming is part of the plan.
